This resolution designates September 15 to October 15, 2026, as "Latin and Hispanic Heritage Month" in Florida. It formally recognizes the cultural contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities, citing historical ties to Central American independence dates and Florida's demographic data (where 26% of residents identify as Hispanic/Latino). As a ceremonial resolution, it does not create new laws or policies but serves to acknowledge this heritage period for public recognition.
